Description

Step down into Stockholm County's largest esker kettle hole, an impressive 31 metres deep. Steep slopes surround this remarkable natural feature, creating a dramatic landscape.

The vegetation reflects the varying moisture levels in the soil. At the bottom of the kettle hole, where conditions are damper, you'll find Norway spruce and mosses such as Ostrich-plume feathermoss and Glittering woodmoss, along with European blueberry.

On the drier ground above and around the kettle hole, Scots pine dominates, accompanied by lingonberry, heather, bearberry and reindeer lichen.
